Title: WWBHD? ( what would blackhawk do? )
Post by: sleek on February 28, 2013, 04:30:43 am: I think I know.... I cant even look at this natural profile and not think of one of BH's awesome bows... And this being erc... man I hope it holds together. It is 62 inches long, fresh cut, and the stick comin out the handle will hold a fishing spool when I am done. Looking for 40-45@25 when she is done. Going deflex/reflex all the way....

Seeing how its ERC I would decrown some of the sapwood off to ensure some heartwood wood be still in the belly of the bow when said n done.....then I would carefully floor tiller it dead nuts tiller to where it felt like my intended weight....then since its ERC id use steam instead of dry heat on one limb at a time and induce a nice even reflex thru out each limb one limb at a time to where you end up with the tips about 2" ahead of the handle into reflex...then id let it sit for at least a few days to restabilize...then comes three courses of sinew using hide glue...then id let it sit for at least a month(prob longer tho) to cure before tillering to my intended weight and draw....then if all's well id carve a spear point out of that branch to hang your fish on ;)

It would probably be best for you to post a new thread. But sometimes what your describing happens to me whenever I have to slow of a connection
